Disclaimer: I own nothing at all. For those who notice, I've been editing. So you may want to re-read the story.
Summary: Harry comes into his inheritance. His brother is the supposed boy-who-lived. Slash! Potters disown him for not supporting his brother. Evil Gryffindors. Good Dumbles, but slightly manipulative. Father-son relationship between Voldemort and Harry. This was inspired by a different story whose plot is completely different. It's called "Inevitably". Harry has two mates. Draco is one of Harry's mates and the other is a surprise. Remus and Snape are together, but Sirius is still alive and friends with Remus.
Warnings: Slash! Mentions of things like neglect. More descriptive later on when Harry has to recount certain memories, or whenever I can get abandoned theatre to help me write it.
Pairings: DM/HP/OMC SS/RL LE/JP RW/HG
Dedication: To Miki, or as you all know her, abandoned theatre. She helps me write my stories when I get stuck and she does edit or point things out that I might miss, unfortunately I still seem to miss a lot when editing. lol.
AAL: Your all probably wondering what is taking me so long to update this, as well as the other story(ies). I apologize, but I have realized that I really need to rewrite this story, both Demon Engagements and Night Wish. Summoner's Awakening finished. I also have another crossover between HP/Vampire Hunter D I am working on, but that one is slow going and is being based off the books.
Hope this story as well as the others are all a little less confusing for everyone. I'm also hoping to make the chapters longer than they currently are. Again, I apologize for taking so long. Hope you enjoy the improved version of A Fool's Love.
Title: A Fool's Love
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Chapter One
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Harry Raven Lupin-Snape sighed sadly. He had just turned seventeen and came into his inheritance. Harry was now half dark-fey and half elemental.
His hair now reached to his shoulders and had blood-red highlights and silver tips. His emerald eyes swirled with blue spheres and his pupils were tinged with gold. He also had bronze skin. But years of neglect and malnutrition left him several inches short of six feet with an effeminate body, however that was not what bothered him. No what bothered him was that he would never have a normal life.
Let's start at the beginning.
-flashback-
31 October 1981:
It was Halloween night in the year 1981, and all was peaceful at Godric's Hollow. Lily and James Potter had left their twin sons with Peter Pettigrew while they went out to celebrate Halloween at a costume party being held in Sirius Black's home.
That night Lord Voldemort, the current Dark Lord, struck Godric's Hollow. Voldemort stunned Pettigrew, although he desperately wanted to kill the pathetic rat, but alas, even rats have their uses. Voldemort then made his way over to the Potter twins.
There in front of him were two boys. One with light brown hair, hazel eyes, and tanned skin, and he was crying loudly. The other...smaller one had raven black hair, emerald green eyes, and slightly lighter skin then the other boy. He was being quiet and was curiously watching Voldemort.
Voldemort leaned forward some causing the hazel-eyed baby to cry louder, which caused him to sneer at said baby. However the green-eyed baby raised his arms up, wanting to be held by the new person in their home.
Voldemort picked him up not fully knowing why, or even understanding why he would hold a baby Potter in his arms.
He could sense the power in this child though, and knew this had to be the child of prophecy.
"Well, what should I do now?"
The baby, Harry, if he remembered what Wormtail had told him correctly, smiled at him and made a cooing noise.
Nathaniel, if he remembered the other boy's name right, cried even louder.
Voldemort glared at Nathaniel, before turning his attention back to Harry. After several minutes of thinking, Voldemort pointed his wand at Harry and murmured a spell. Harry whimpered slightly as the middle of his back began hurting in an irritating way, like someone pinching your cheeks while your still a small child.
After several minutes, there on little Harry's back was a tatoo of a black basilisk with one green eye and one red eye curled around a pale green sphere with a light red glow beginning to swirl in its depths.
Voldemort smiled just as Dumbledore, the Potters, Lupin, and Black raced through the door easily hiding the mark from their view. Sneering, Voldemort pointed his wand at Nathaniel and coldly said, "Avada Kedavra."
Suddenly a white light filled the whole room. When it faded, all that was left of the Dark Lord was a pile of ashes. And, on Nathaniel's forehead there was a lightning bolt marking him as the-boy-who-lived.
James and Lily exclaimed excitedly after making sure that Nathaniel was really alright. Already their minds had dismissed Harry as nothing but a nuisance compared to the elder twin. One that would probably get in the way as the children grew up.
What none of them knew was that the Dark Lord had planned on that, and that before he had marked Nathaniel he had put more of his magic into Harry, marking Harry as his equa and magical heirl. Also, it had been Harry who had casted the bright light to save his older twin brother.
It had been Dumbledore who had remembered that Harry was still there. Looking at the pile of ash he saw Harry there wide awake watching them sadly. Dumbledore picked Harry up and asked Lily and James, "What about Harry?"
Lily was the one who suggested that they let her sister take Harry in while they began Nathaniel's training, even though she knew Petunia would not be willing to treat the boy as her own. Lily felt that it was more important to focus on Nathaniel however, because he would one day defeat Voldemort once and for all.
Remus and Sirius argued against the idea. Sirius even offered to take Harry in since he was the boy's godfather along with Remus. Lily and James shot them down stating that they would all have to focus on training Nathaniel instead and Harry would just be an unwanted burden in the end.
Remus growled at the elder Potters in disbelief before leaving the house, knowing that he could not do anything yet for his cub. He would wait, and he would laugh at the elder Potters' fates when the time came. Sirius ran after his friend trying to calm down the irate werewolf, but only after he gave James a dark glare and Lily a disappointed look.
Even Dumbledore tried reasoning with them, but in the end he failed.
And, so Harry went to the Dursley's. At there hands he was overworked, starved, emotionally and verbally abused, neglected, and had to live in a cupboard under the stairs.
31 July 1991:
Harry watched with intelligent emerald green eyes as a male with messy hair and a female with lighter green eyes walked up to the door leading up to the house he was currently living in… well, surviving in. Harry lived with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley Dursley. Had been surviving there since that fateful night.
He knew who the couple were. They were his parents. He sneered inwardly at the thought, but his expression remained neutral on the outside.
Harry had known they would be coming this day to retrieve him. His eleventh birthday, and the year he got to go to Hogwarts. He had known since his Aunt never stopped complaining about how his parents should collect him sooner, in less than polite terms.
Harry met Nathaniel that very night, and found himself glad that he was never raised around his elder twin. He couldn't help but be glad that he was actually given away that night long ago.
Remus and Sirius were there as well, but the air was tense between the adults. Still he was glad to get a chance to know Remus, or Moony as he insisted Harry call him. Sirius would take getting used to before he could form a truly accurate opinion on the man.
He found out that Sirius had solely been made Nathaniel's godfather just so he wouldn't be able to take Harry in, and Moony was made his godfather only because he was a werewolf and werewolves were not allowed to take there godchildren in unless the parents were dead.
1 September 1991:
During the train ride Harry had met Draco Malfoy, and considered him to be an acquaintance rather than a friend. Neville Longbottom, who he hoped to be friend with one day for he saw great potential in Neville Longbottom. Ron (Ronald) Weasley who was nothing more than a Boy-Who-Live fanboy currently. Hermione Granger who was awed by Nathaniel as well, Harry hoped her senses would eventually kick in and she would realize how fake his brother was. Last, but not least, he also met Fred and George Weasley who seemed to be in agreement that Nathaniel Potter was a prat and Harry Potter would be a better friend even though they were a year or two older than him.
At the sorting feast, Harry was sorted into Ravenclaw although the hat had tried convincing him that Slytherin would be better for him. Harry won the argument however by stating that a true Slytherin would be able to blend into another house, and Ravenclaws weren't that far from being Slytherins themselves.
The hat had agreed after several seconds of thought.
Nathaniel was sorted next and went to Gryffindor. The sorting continued without any other problems.
Summary of the rest of the Years leading up to the Summer before Seventh Year:
Over the years, the Gryffindors had made him their target for pranks and were constantly bullying Harry. But, instead of isolating him like they had hoped he had made friends with the Slytherins in their year, as well as other years, Loony Luna Lovegood, and several Hufflepuffs.
Throughout the years, Nathaniel had faced the Dark Lord, but everyone was surprised when his followers had kidnapped Harry and used his blood to give Voldemort a body during forth year. Harry was then sent back to Hogwarts unconscious and covered in bruises. During the fifth year Nathaniel had been told the prophecy and was given more training. During the sixth year, Nathaniel had learned about the Horcruxes and how Voldemort was staying alive.
Again, only Harry knew the truth. Voldemort had gathered the remaining Horcruxes that was left and placed the pieces of his soul into a pendant which was currently around Harry's neck. The pendant could only be removed by Harry or Voldemort himself.
What would surprise the wizarding world, if it ever found out, was that Harry and Voldemort had a father-son relationship. But that will have to be explained in better detail later.
Right before the end of Harry's and Nathaniel's 6th year ended Harry had been disowned by James and Lily for befriending Slytherins, and not heeding their warnings and threats telling him to break off his friendships and support his brother instead now that the war seemed to be escalating.
When that had happened Harry had smiled. Even though the Potters didn't abuse him they had neglected him in favor of Nathaniel. Harry gathered his things and had left platform 9 & 3/4 with Remus, whom he had shared all his secrets with. They both then portkeyed to Snape's mansion, who was Remus' mate.
Remus and Snape then adopted him with Voldemort's encouragements, threats in Severus's case.
-end of flashback-
So, Harry would never truly have a normal, happy, quiet life. Especially now that he was half dark fey and half elemental he would have two mates. He knew he would be the most submissive in the relationship, according to the books Moony had him read.
So there went Harry's dream of opening up a normal bookshop in the muggle world.
Again, Harry sighed and decided to get some sleep, after all tomorrow he would begin testing his powers now that he had come into his magical inheritance.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
